Revenue for the three months ended Feb. 2 jumped 14% to $1.71 billion from $1.5 billion a year ago, narrowly trumping the Street’s view of $1.69 billion, fueled in part by an extra week in the 2012 period.

Same-store sales, a key growth metric of sales at stores open longer than a year, increased 7.9%.

"With the momentum we built from executing our strategic initiatives, the team at Foot Locker, was able to drive our sales and profits substantially higher than last year's record results," said Foot Locker CEO Ken Hicks.

The company, which operates some 2,300 stores in 23 countries, anticipates keeping up that momentum through the current fiscal year and estimates delivering a double-digit percentage earnings per share growth.
